From a lost key to a worn ignition barrel, we cover the full range of motorcycle lock and key problems. Here’s what we handle, from cutting a spare key to repairing a lock that’s stuck.
Lost Motorcycle Keys
A lost motorcycle key means a new key cut and programmed on site so you can ride again.

We cut a spare key on the spot so you’re never left with just the one.
Motorcycle Key Programming
New or spare keys are programmed to your bike’s transponder chip and immobiliser system.

The same key cutting and programming service covers scooters, mopeds and trail bikes.
Mobile Motorcycle Locksmith
We travel to your bike at home, work, a car park or the roadside across Melbourne.
Locksmiths, not mechanics
We handle keys, ignitions and locks. Engine, wiring and mechanical work is not ours, and we will tell you straight away if that is what your bike needs.
Why A Motorcycle Specialist Beats A Car Locksmith
A motorcycle’s ignition barrel, steering lock, seat lock and fuel cap lock are built differently to anything on a car. The tolerances are tighter, the mechanisms smaller, and the way the immobiliser talks to the bike’s ECU is its own system entirely. A car locksmith who occasionally looks at bikes hasn’t spent the hours learning where motorcycle locks differ model to model, brand to brand.
Force the wrong tool into a motorcycle ignition barrel and you can jam the pins or crack the housing, turning a simple key job into an expensive repair. Bikes also pair keys to the immobiliser in ways that vary by brand and year, from Honda to BMW to KTM. A specialist knows what to check before touching the lock, so the barrel, the key and the immobiliser all end up working together instead of fighting each other.
Bike-Specific Tools
We use equipment built for motorcycle locks, not adapted car gear.
No Guesswork Diagnosis
We check the ignition and immobiliser properly before we touch anything.
Know Every Brand
We know how Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Ducati, KTM and Vespa systems differ.
Careful With Your Bike
We work carefully so your ignition barrel isn't damaged in the process.
How It Works
Getting your bike sorted takes three simple steps.
1. Call And Describe
Call us and tell us about the bike and the problem. We'll tell you the soonest we can get to you.
2. We Come To You
We ride out to your location, whether that's Albert Park, St Kilda or anywhere else across Melbourne.
3. Ride Away
We check ID and proof of ownership, cut or program the key, then you're back on the road.
Motorcycle Makes and Their Key Systems
The makes below all turn up in our own job photos. Key and lock systems differ between makes, and between model years inside one make, so the badge on the tank tells only part of the story.
Road bikes to trail bikes
Road bikes, cruisers, scooters, mopeds and trail bikes are all part of the work, and lock and key setups vary from bike to bike.
Mechanical and transponder keys
Some bikes take a straightforward cut key, while others need a transponder key programmed before the engine will start.
Older and newer models
An older model and a current one under the same badge can need different blanks and barrels, and a different programming method.
Before Michael travels, he goes through the bike with you on the phone. He asks for the make, model and year from the bike or its registration papers, not from memory. He also asks whether a key still exists, working or not, and what the bike does when you turn the ignition. Those answers decide what he brings.
Have photo ID ready, plus proof the bike is yours: registration in your name, a receipt or transfer papers. Identification and ownership are checked on every job before any key is cut. Bring the old key as well if one still exists, bent or broken is fine. Park the bike where there is room to work beside it, at the kerb, in a driveway or in a car park.
Before we travel: A make listed here does not mean every model or year can be done. It depends on the immobiliser system, which is why the details are confirmed on the phone.
Tell Michael What You Ride
Call with your make, model and year and he will tell you straight what is involved and whether it is one for us.
